Matt Varga With the Nike Cryoshot hype hitting a fever pitch, Beaverton has demonstrated that leveraging their A-list partners was a shrewd move as the World Cup threatens to take over the sports world in just a matter of days. For the tots, there’s nary a name more important than LEGO, having captured imaginations for generations and now building out a deep history with the Swoosh for the younger demo.
Following that logic, LEGO is now entering the Nike Football fray. Spinning that same spirit of creativity for performance wear and living in the same pixelated world that we’ve seen in previous efforts, the Junior Mercurial Vapor Pro and Junior Mercurial Academy utilize panther-inspired prints for contrasting blue and pink colorways. On the lifestyle end, the Tiempo Streetgato utilizes similar patterning for sleek orange/silver and blue/silver variations.
Finally, in news that may ring familiar if you’re a dedicated reader of ours, the Nike Air Max 95 takes on the concept established by its peers with a can’t-miss highlighter green and a more restrained grey/orange/pink. Beyond the futbol footwear, this Nike x LEGO capsule will give the kids the chance to get in on footy fashion as well. Co-branded kits, shorts, and tracks take cues from the colorways explored on foot.
The Nike Football x LEGO collection releases globally on June 4th via Nike.com and LEGO.com. Keep this page within reach for direct pick-up links once it has touched down.
